just discovered that my zhp had an smg

[mr hish]

yesterday i had a problem with my clutch pedal, it got really hard so i went to my mechanic and it turned out that the clutch needs to be replaced , so we got a new one and as we were replacing it it didnt fit so we pluged the cars vin number in some kind if program and discovered that the car had an smg gearbox:s is it possible?

[mimalmo]

SMG was not an option on the ZHP.

[mimalmo]

You would know if you had SMG because it looks like this and not a standard gear shifter.

FROM THE FAQ:

Question: Was the ZHP ever available in SMG?
Answer: No. We've discussed that issue here (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?1104-BMW-330-ZHP-w-SMG) and here (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?2494-ZHP-with-SMG).

If you had an SMG you wouldn't have a clutch pedal. What was different about your clutch?

[mr hish]

i mean it was swaped to a 6 speed manual . is the zhp clutch different than the normal 330?

[mimalmo]

Another good point. SMG cars only have gas and brake pedals.

[mikeyb74]

And you would have had paddle shifters.

There is the possibility then that your car isn't a ZHP but rather is a 330ci that maybe has some of the ZHP features such as the Mtech bumpers and such.

[danewilson77]

Original post implies he has three pedals.

That's what I'm thinking. If mr hish would pm me the last 7 digits of his VIN I can run it.

[mr hish]

no i dont have those but zhp didnt come with smg buth there a program on the computer where u put the cars vin number and it gives u all the parts of the car with there specs , so this is what puzzled me it showed us that the gear box was an smg :s which is making me crazy

Even if it was swapped to a 6 speed ZHP could not be ordered w/smg, maybe mech typed VIN# wrong off by a digit.????

[mimalmo]

Original post implies he has three pedals.

Post #6 mentions a swap.

[mr hish]

it is a zhp i inserted its vin number through the zhp registry on the zhp mafia website

[danewilson77]

Post #6 mentions a swap.

ok....the two pedal/three pedal thing was throwing me off.

OP has three pedals, but some of the SMG elements?

Or has zero SMG elements, with a supposed SMG gearbox?

[mimalmo]

ZHP Registry doesn't verify VIN numbers, it only records them.

[M0nk3y]

Can we just get pictures please?

[mr hish]

minkeyb74 this is the vin number is wbabd53454pd98490

[mr hish]

sry i didnt take any pics

[wsmeyer]

Anything is possible I guess but that would be a lot of swapping. Even if the cars were wired the same, which I doubt, think of all the stuff you'd have to change besides the tranny:

steering wheel
instrument cluster
center console and selector
driveshaft

probably more.

William.

[mr hish]

good point there . i dont know it is confusing :s

[aurelius]

My guess is your guy mistakenly ordered or was mistakenly sent the wrong clutch disk.

Use realoem as a reference to follow up on part numbers. Look at the actual packaging the wrong disk came in, if you still can, and see what part number is on the box. Compare that to what you find on realoem.

[mikeyb74]

Didn't think you could "prove" a ZHP with the VIN.

[kayger12]

Didn't think you could "prove" a ZHP with the VIN.

Option 767, Performance Package

That would be all you'd need, no?

[mikeyb74]

With access to BMW's software you can.

[mimalmo]

Yup, mechanic ordered the wrong part.

[Hermes]

Ooooooohhh... Options say Silver Cube. Nice

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Ooooooohhh... Options say Silver Cube. Nice

Yep. Black cube was default. Silver cube was the option.

[danewilson77]

Option 767, Performance Package

That would be all you'd need, no?

Copy....I believe you KG. I just specifically remembering a while ago saying it wasn't proveable with the VIN.....

[Hermes]

I just wanna say the non M SMG is garbage anyways. Glad they didn't actually offer it.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Dw, i think they are talking about being able to look at the vin -- by itself-- and say it's a zhp.

One can always run a vin, though, to see what options came with the car.

Ok.

[mr hish]

well the only rational explation is that the mechanic ordered the wrong parts we ordered another one and it fits perfectly , and it is very impressive what the vin can do .thank you guys for your help .

[mr hish]

in the option list it says m leather steering wheel but i have an alcantara steering wheel and the thing i dont know its name under the shift knob with the e brake too, but my question is what cop control?

[mikeyb74]

The previous owner or maybe the selling dealer swapped the steering wheel. You mean the shift and ebrake boots? I've seen COP Control on alot of build sheets and I was wondering what it meant.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

COP stands for coil on plug. It's related to the ignition.

[mikeyb74]

That is odd BMW would list that.

Ooh ooh, hey Mikey, me next, me next!!
